This bag is loosely based on Deb Stoller's intarsia bag in the first book (second book?). But I didn't add enough to the sides, so had to knit a side/bottom piece to make it a little wider. And I did the straps on dp's instead of straights. And I added webbing to the underside of the straps to make the straps unstretchable. And I added a lining. So, really, I guess the only thing I got from Deb's pattern is the gauge and general dimensions. That's something.

My boyfriend Phineas did the chart design. He's a handy guy to have around.
